Registered a new trailer today. Small, cheap 4′x8′ trailer that weighs 250 pounds. The fee for the tag was $6.75. After the state & county add on fees, it cost $83. This is by far the highest trailer tag fee I have ever had on such a small trailer. It only cost $300. Ridiculousness!

this is downright ridiculous. My registration jumped from $50.30 to $86.50, for new Toyota Corolla. I have never voted in any local elections, for Judges, mayors, commissioners, congressmen, senators, school boards etc.I have only voted ,in the presidential elections for President only. you know why because they are all crooks, all their pockets are lined with bribes. I know that if people do as i do, then these elected officials will surely know that we the people are the ones who have the power and not them. This is the only way to bring about change . IT IS TIME ALL VOTERS TAKE THE STAND NOOOOTTTTTT TOOOOOO VOOOOOOOOTTTTTTE

I have just received my driver licence and renewal registration notices and I was very disapointed at the huge increases this year(would be paying nearly $300.00 more if we renewed all). This will be the final straw that has broken my back and after 30 years of living in Florida, I’ve got to throw in the towel. It’s not just the one thing, but the constant success of those in power, namely elected officials in state and local governments, to extract as much as they possibly can out of those people that are stuggling the most. I truly fear for my children’s future. I hope that the economy will recover enough so that I can sell my property here and be able to move out of state, or possibly out of the country. Last year, for the first time since the 1940’s, Florida has had a net loss of residents, so I guess my family is not the only one trying to make ends meet.

I work for the federal government. Goverment agencies ALWAYS seek to increase their funding and grow their organization. It’s about power and self promotion. This is consequence of BIG goverment. Our elected officials won’t live within their means. They simply come back the taxpayer with their hand out.

An increase of this magnitude should have been implimented on January 1st so it would be fair to everyone. I, as well as every other Florida resident born in December, have been SCREWED big time, and this won’t be forgotten when the polls are open. Good old fashioned discrimination…

This is just one more reason my dislike for this state keeps growing.

I agree with all of you . When is it going to end , first a gas tax , then cigarett tax now tags and registration ? This not only affects your vehial but anything that requires a tag . Also the boat registration and trailer tags .
Well so much for Crist being on the tax payers side . And NO Charlie you will never see my vote , and that goes for the rest of the Republicans in there .

Guys, you can protest all you want… people here in Colorado have seen their fees increase by 200% for renewals. You’re lucky that they are only increased by 66% there. The backlash in Colorado has been so bad that the Governor has had to hire off-duty police to work security at the DL offices because people have been flipping out. My 1996 Integra went from $24 to $75. What’s worse is we base our fees off the original taxable value of the car and the age. It’s supposed to go down every year by a buck or two. Instead, every year for the last four it’s gone up, and now there’s the 200% increase. Politicians don’t care.

This is an absurd hike. Way to come through in a time of despair. Working overtime to pay for the power bill hike amongst others and now I have to worry about paying more to renew our tags and dl’s….this is just out of control. Congrats to the bogus politicians not helping in a blatantly obvious time of needing it. Pathetic.

$4500 bucks back for buying a vehicle which gets 2-8 mpg better mileage and charging me double for my motorctcle tag which is saving money and polution for everyone. This really makes [cents] ? Florida politicians need to get real and repeal this tax in a very bad economy. The initial $100 bucks for a new vehicle coming into Florida to $225 now was called an impact fee 15 years ago and the state had to pay the fees back. How is it different now. Get in line newcomers. This will be deemed an illegal impact fee before it is over. Shame on you Charlie Crist. You will not get my vote in the senate race.

Don’t blame it on homestead. The real culprit is the OUTRAGEOUS SPENDING by local governments. They are spending like drunken sailors. Lots of blame lies with democrats and Pres Obama. Look at all the pork spending in the Stimulus Bill.

Vote out the democrats.
